New Delhi, April 27 (IANS) In a move aimed at strengthening India’s logistics and e-commerce ecosystem, the Department of Posts (DoP) under the Ministry of Communications on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DTDC Express Limited.
The agreement was formalised in the national capital in the presence of senior officials from both sides.
The MoU was signed by Neeraj Kumar Jha, General Manager of Parcel Directorate at the Department of Posts, and Jatinder Sethi, National Channel Head at DTDC Express.
The partnership builds on an ongoing collaboration between the two organisations that began in 2025 and seeks to deepen their engagement in parcel and logistics operations.
The agreement focuses on leveraging DoP’s extensive nationwide infrastructure along with DTDC’s expertise in logistics to enhance parcel delivery services across the country.
By integrating capabilities, both entities aim to improve operational efficiency and service quality in a rapidly growing e-commerce market.

The collaboration is also seen as a step towards strengthening its position in the logistics space, aligning with India’s broader ambition of emerging as a global logistics hub.
